The more we understand ourselves, the better we can shield our energy from external negativity. This starts with recognizing who is narrating our thoughts and who is directing the flow of our energy. And that power belongs to us and only us.<br /><br />It’s not always easy to see ourselves as the creators of our experience, especially when others hurt or disrespect us.

They may act mighty, but their strength is an illusion.<br /><br />The moment we allow them to lower our vibration, we have given them permission to influence our state. The good news? We can take that power back.<br /><br />Restoring Your Energy<br /><br />One of the most immediate and effective ways to restore our energy is through music. And especially the one designed for relaxation, calming, and meditation. <br /><br />Generally speaking, music has been with humanity since the beginning of time. It speaks beyond words, beyond logic—it shifts energy. When your frequency has been lowered, consciously choosing the right sounds can harmonize you, bringing you back to your natural state of strength and clarity.<br /><br />But beyond external tools, the greatest protection is deep self-knowledge. The more we understand ourselves, the easier it is to distinguish between our true essence and the negativity imposed on us.<br /><br />We are the antidote to the poison.

That’s their burden to carry, not yours.<br /><br />Let go and move on.<br /><br />Their wound does not belong to you. Be better, be wiser, walk away, and create space to recharge.<br /><br />Boundaries are your shields.<br />Constructive reasoning is your tool to restore balance.<br /><br />Your emotions are like a room in your inner castle—tidy it up.<br /><br />Just as a cluttered space feels chaotic, a clean and breathable space brings peace. Your feelings have been disrupted—organize them, clear out what no longer serves you, and allow fresh energy to flow in.<br /><br /><br />Focus on the Now<br /><br />Do not waste your energy dwelling on what has already passed.<br /><br />The past is a closed door. Every time you revisit it, you pull back the handle and let old ghosts re-enter.<br /><br />Let the echoes of yesterday stay where they belong—behind you.<br /><br />Instead, turn your full attention to the present moment.<br /><br />What does the air feel like around you?<br />Whatcolourss fill your vision?<br />What emotions rise within you right now?<br /><br />This is where your power is. Not in the past, not in the imagined future—only here.<br /><br /><br />A Path of Evolution, Not Perfection<br /><br />Some will say, “This is easier said than done.”<br />Yes. It is.<br /><br />But let me tell you this: Everything that matters is easier said than done.<br /><br />It is easier to talk about love than to love deeply.<br />It is easier to talk about healing than to heal.<br />It is easier to talk about freedom than to liberate the mind from suffering.<br /><br />Yet, every step forward—no matter how small—is still a step.<br /><br />This is not about perfection.

But is it really about the debate itself, or does it stem from inner unrest and suffering?<br /><br />Free speech is not about the right to be rude or disrespectful. It is about the exchange of ideas in a way that fosters understanding, not division. If one feels compelled to offend in order to express themselves, perhaps the deeper question is: Why the need for offence? What is being defended, and what is being projected?<br /><br />Democracy flourishes where mutual respect exists, where freedom is not a tool for aggression but a shared space where different voices can coexist harmoniously. As I have learned in school, the freedom of one person ends where the freedom of another begins—a principle that ensures that freedom remains a force for balance, not destruction.<br /><br />May we strive for discourse that is thoughtful, well-mannered, and constructive—where words build bridges rather than walls.<br /><br /><br />A Thought on Respectful Dialogue<br /><br />Minds offers a unique space for exchanging ideas in a more peaceful and respectful environment—something that sets it apart from mainstream social media. I believe many of us are here because we appreciate constructive discussions where diverse perspectives can be shared with mutual respect.<br /><br />I warmly welcome different viewpoints and always appreciate meaningful conversations. However, I kindly ask that anyone wishing to engage with me does so in a thoughtful, respectful, and constructive manner. A true exchange of ideas flourishes when it is rooted in dignity and openness.<br /><br />That said, any form of offensive, litigious, or disrespectful language will be reported to Minds. We all value being treated with respect, and a kind, courteous conversation is something we can all appreciate, even when we disagree.

But is it really about the debate itself, or does it stem from inner unrest and suffering?\n\nFree speech is not about the right to be rude or disrespectful. It is about the exchange of ideas in a way that fosters understanding, not division. If one feels compelled to offend in order to express themselves, perhaps the deeper question is: Why the need for offence? What is being defended, and what is being projected?\n\nDemocracy flourishes where mutual respect exists, where freedom is not a tool for aggression but a shared space where different voices can coexist harmoniously. As I have learned in school, the freedom of one person ends where the freedom of another begins—a principle that ensures that freedom remains a force for balance, not destruction.\n\nMay we strive for discourse that is thoughtful, well-mannered, and constructive—where words build bridges rather than walls.\n\n\nA Thought on Respectful Dialogue\n\nMinds offers a unique space for exchanging ideas in a more peaceful and respectful environment—something that sets it apart from mainstream social media. I believe many of us are here because we appreciate constructive discussions where diverse perspectives can be shared with mutual respect.\n\nI warmly welcome different viewpoints and always appreciate meaningful conversations. However, I kindly ask that anyone wishing to engage with me does so in a thoughtful, respectful, and constructive manner. A true exchange of ideas flourishes when it is rooted in dignity and openness.\n\nThat said, any form of offensive, litigious, or disrespectful language will be reported to Minds. We all value being treated with respect, and a kind, courteous conversation is something we can all appreciate, even when we disagree. After all, disagreement does not require hostility—it can be an opportunity for growth and understanding.\n\nDisrespect has no place in meaningful dialogue. If I encounter offensive behaviour, I will not take it personally, as I recognize that such expressions often stem from personal struggles rather than the discussion itself. I will simply report and move on, continuing to enjoy my peaceful and simple life.\n\nMy goal is to share kind and thoughtful reflections while feeling free to express myself in my own space—surely, that should not be too surprising.\n\nIf someone strongly disagrees with my way of thinking, that is entirely fair.

This word, a symbol of free thinking and constructive societies, is today under tremendous stress. Somehow, it has failed to convince people of its values and importance. Or perhaps, it is that humanity has yet to fully grasp just how dysfunctionally blind power can be. And indeed, it is a dysfunctional concept—one that often reveals more about people’s inferiority complexes and their deep-rooted fear of death (which is, after all, inevitable). In their desperate need to control, to have more, and to be remembered as powerful, they forget that history often remembers them first as the odd and devastating figures they truly are.<br /><br />I once read (though I can’t recall by whom) that humanity’s fear of death stems from the illusion of immortality. And within this thought lies the tragic reality of our species—the source of so much destruction on this planet.<br /><br />It’s worth noting that no religion has truly softened the concept of death. Instead, many have radicalized it, using it to gain power. Ideas like Hell and Paradise (and thank you, Dante, for inventing Purgatory—the cosmic waiting room before judgment! 😆😆😆) have done little to bring peace to the soul. Philosophies, on the other hand, have at least tried (some of them, at least) to give more value to life and a better acceptance of death.<br /><br />But let’s return to everyday life and view it from a better perspective. The question isn’t \"Will we die?\"—that is beyond debate. The real question is \"When?\" So let’s keep it simple:<br />Live honestly. Live respectfully. Live carefully. Live to evolve, not to compete—evolve.<br /><br />Life is defined by death, just as death is defined by life. Were it not so, we would be eternal. And yet, science tells us that all matter is energy, and energy never disappears—it transforms. If everything is energy, then we do not die in the sense of vanishing into nothingness. We simply transform. What happens next? That is the question… but even within that question, there is a clue—the very existence of a next. If there were nothing, there would be no question to ask.<br /><br />If we are the reflection of the universe, then our existence shifts from one form to another.<br /><br />And yet, instead of banging our heads against the wall, trying to grasp what might happen after death, shouldn’t we focus on living well now? How?<br />By loving ourselves, by caring for ourselves, by finding peace within ourselves. Only then can we understand what it truly means to love others, care for others, and live well among others.<br /><br />Omnipotence is as ridiculous as it is emotionally dysfunctional (not to mention intellectually destructive).<br />True fulfillment comes from living in harmony within ourselves. One can have millions, billions, even trillions—but if they are not at peace within, their thirst for more will consume them, leading to the most miserable of all realizations: that in the end, everything they have stays behind.<br /><br />Money is not the problem. Having money is not the problem. The real problem is emotionally dysfunctional individuals who fail to understand that their inner turmoil is the root of their suffering.<br /><br />When you are at peace within yourself, the world and life itself begin to make sense—not through words, not through what is written or spoken, but through direct experience.<br />Words are merely tools to express what we feel and perceive. They do not define reality itself. No words can erase factual existence. That is why lying to oneself is the most pointless behavior of all.<br /><br />Everything starts from within.<br />No matter how you turn it, look at it, or construct upon it.<br /><br />It is sad to watch a democracy like the U.S. being arbitrarily dismantled, after all that was done to build it. And it is equally sad to see autocratic rulers (not their people) clinging to absolute power, oblivious to the fact that they will be forever hated and will never know true loyalty—only fear-driven obedience. True loyalty is built through collaboration, mutual understanding, and the pursuit of a common good, not through coercion.<br /><br />Life should be a precious human experience—one where we strive to live peacefully and in harmony, from beginning to end.<br /><br />Will we ever understand that, as far as we know, there is no other habitable planet like Earth in our solar system?<br />Do we truly need to go through endless cycles of destruction just to feed humanity’s dysfunctional sense of importance?<br />There is no one else living on our neighboring planets. Shouldn’t this alone be enough to make us appreciate where we are?<br /><br />Democracy, despite its flaws, remains the best answer we have for dignity in human life.<br />It could be even better if we redefined power—not as sheer dominance, but as collaborative strength. Together as one. That is true power.<br /><br />Gender equality is essential for our species to develop a balanced perspective on life, meaning, and values. Without it, we remain trapped in a one-sided, dysfunctional worldview—like a cowboy saloon, where guns fire at every differing opinion.<br /><br />Tell me if I’m wrong, but until humanity realizes that our well-being comes from within, we will always seek something external to fill the void—experimenting recklessly with the one precious life experience we have.<br /><br />It all starts from within. And we all share the same fundamental truth:<br />We are human.<br /><br />Sending you all my love. May you find peace and harmony within yourself—to live, to exist, and to be the uniquely gentle and universal soul that you are.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Charlie 😊🪷💐<br />", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1744302710590541824/followers" ], "tag": [], "url": "https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1745423231394779136", "published": "2025-03-09T10:48:46+00:00", "attachment": [ { "type": "Document", "url": "https://cdn.minds.com/fs/v1/thumbnail/1745423130145087488/xlarge/", "mediaType": "image/jpeg", "height": 4000, "width": 5982 }, { "type": "Document", "url": "https://cdn.minds.com/fs/v1/thumbnail/1745423143763185664/xlarge/", "mediaType": "image/jpeg", "height": 4000, "width": 6000 }, { "type": "Document", "url": "https://cdn.minds.com/fs/v1/thumbnail/1745423132615532544/xlarge/", "mediaType": "image/jpeg", "height": 4000, "width": 6000 } ], "source": { "content": "Hello Gentle Souls,\n\nFirst of all, I wish you all a very beautiful Sunday—I hope you can spend it in a way that brings you joy and peace. 😊🪷\n\nWhat is democracy?
